10 Idaho Sandwiches You Have To Try Before You Die

This breakfast-brunch-anytime sandwich is definitely one of more unique choices! Juicy, flavorful, crispy fried chicken is served with a biting chipotle remoulade sauce and bun with the added contrast of grilled kale. It ain't your momma's fried chicken--but it'll make your tastebuds swoon just a little. For another option on the brunch side of the menu, go for the chicken in a biscuit, which is served with eggs and bacon in a heavenly sausage gravy, all wrapped into one warm and gooey dish of sheer perfection.

Who doesn't love a good Philly? But rather than one of those generic cheesesteaks on a store-bought roll, how about a massive Philly Cheesesteak, smothered in cheesey fried goodness and nestled atop a hot, freshly-made bun of epic proportions? We thought so.

There's a lot to love about this restaurant-distillery, and Bardenay's creative sandwiches never fail to impress. Grilled Snake River Farms flank steak comes dripping with melty provolone cheese and a creamy horseradish, all served on multi-grain caraway focaccia bread that is thick enough to withstand the juiciness, but soft enough to melt in your mouth. But perhaps the best part is the burgundy and rosemary au jus, perfect for dipping and adding just enough extra moisture to take this sandwich up a notch. The best part... Bardenay has multiple locations, so even if you're not in CdA, you can give this bad boy a try... you just won't get the magical waterfront view to go with it.

If there's one thing every Idahoan loves, it's a bucket full of huckleberries. While this sammy is seasonal, it's a must-try for anyone who craves the juicy tartness of a perfectly ripe huckleberry, but still wants to get their carnivorous fix. This braised beef shortrib sandwich is topped with gooey melted white cheddar, caramelized onions, a horseradish aioli for a little kick, and the perfect amount of sweet huckleberry barbecue sauce to balance it out. Sound phenomenal? Check out what else Meltz has in the works.

For mind-blowing chicken sandwiches, locals know that the Snakebite is where the real food is at, all named in true Western style or after Idaho landmarks. One must-try is the Henry's Fork Sandwich, which comes layered with spicy Caribbean jerk chicken and topped with sauteed onions, roasted red peppers, grilled pineapple, and melted swiss cheese. YUM!

Tender, robust meatloaf served with Walla Walla sweet onion and a house-made BBQ sauce rests atop a fluffy bun in this huge sandwich that has become a diner favorite. Fresh, bold, and with just the right amount of gourmet kick, you can get Baxters' world-famous meatloaf on mini sliders instead, or feel free to add on a lamb slider to really blow your tastebuds out of the water! These babies are made with tender Moroccan-spiced lamb, roasted poblano peppers, and topped with a cool cucumber mint sauce.

Idaho --fishing haven that it is--is no stranger to showcasing fresh, delicious fish dishes on the menu. At Ketchum's Sawtooth Club--historically tucked in the heart of Sun Valley--the catch of the day is served up in a delicious sammy that is just as beautiful as it is delicious. The Grilled Salmon Burger, topped with homemade lemon-dill aioli, is a refreshing and tart meal dish that is creative Idaho the way it should be.

Pastrami is without a doubt the tangy mother of all meats, and the true test of any sandwich shop. Grit does it right with curing their pastrami in-house. Instead of the traditional sauerkraut, they add a slaw of fresh grated vegetables that have been brined to keep them crunchy. They also make their Thousand Island dressing in house as well and pile on the meat.
